Fresh perspectives also shine through in featured selected short films and animations from the Morelia Film Festival (September 17; School of Visual Arts). Juried by directors from Sundance to Cannes, Morelia’s winners include the striking “Y el agua?,” an animated film written and narrated by the children of Valle de Bravo and the short film “Nebraska” (foto)—about the struggle of a migrant who can’t bear to cross the U.S. border or to return to his family—with its director Adrian Ortiz during a Q&A.
The seventh annual Celebrate México Now! is a multimedia, multi-lingual festival of music, performance, film, installation, and cuisine at multiple venues around New York City. It takes place September 16-30.
